Depending on how you render it and how small the actual video is.

@itsbeensolong The program I use to encode my SWFs allows me to letterbox it, I'd just rather not because I feel like that could get messy, especially since I'll also be upscaling.

@mrmattimation What program did you use
Wednesday, 01-Apr-15 22:22:20 UTC from web-
@itsbeensolong Newgrounds Swivel.

@mrmattimation Is that a rendering program for SWFs or an editing program? (and what is a swf lol)

@itsbeensolong It renders SWF files as a video file. SWF (ShockWave Flash) is an interactive media format that Adobe Flash renders. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't accept SWF files, so when an animator wants to upload they need to find a way to convert it to a video file, like an MP4 or something. That's where Swivel comes in. Swivel is a rendering tool used to take a Flash movie and convert it into a video format uploadable to YouTube. Since Flash movies are vector-based, it can even upscale it to full HD with no drop in quality.

@mrmattimation Well i am not exactly sure, does it have options to show scale?

@itsbeensolong Whaddya mean?

@mrmattimation To show scale like 16:9, etc.

@itsbeensolong It actually has a field where I can tell it exactly what resolution to render at, and therefore, aspect ratio.

@mrmattimation Ok. I think youtube tells you what its going to upload as.

@itsbeensolong Basically, any Flash game or movie you're watched on the internet is probably in a SWF file.
